Flow Control - General Questions Questions and Answers

Q: switch(x) { default: System.out.println("Hello"); } Which two are acceptable types for x? 1.byte 2.long 3.char 4.float 5.Short 6.Long

Switch statements are based on integer expressions and since both bytes and chars can implicitly be widened to an integer, these can also be used. Also shorts can be used. Short and Long are wrapper classes and reference types can not be used as variables.

Q: public void test(int x) { int odd = 1; if(odd) /* Line 4 */ { System.out.println("odd"); } else { System.out.println("even"); } } Which statement is true?

Correct answer: Compilation fails.Java requires the condition of an if to be a boolean, and odd is an int. There is no implicit conversion from a number to a boolean, so the C idiom of testing an integer for non-zero does not compile - it must be written if (odd != 0). The parameter x is never used at all, which is a hint that the fragment was never going to behave as its option about odd and even values suggests.

Q: public void foo( boolean a, boolean b) { if( a ) { System.out.println("A"); /* Line 5 */ } else if(a && b) /* Line 7 */ { System.out.println( "A && B"); } else /* Line 11 */ { if ( !b ) { System.out.println( "notB") ; } else { System.out.println( "ELSE" ) ; } } }

Option C is correct. The output is "ELSE". Only when a is false do the output lines after 11 get some chance of executing. Option A is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed. The condition at line 7 will never be evaluated (when a is true it will always be trapped by the line 12 condition) therefore the output will never be "A && B". Option B is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed. Option D is wrong. The output is "notB".

        System.out.println("Hello"); 
}

Which two are acceptable types for x?

1.byte

2.long

3.char

4.float

5.Short

6.Long

A.1 and 3
B.2 and 4
C.3 and 5
D.4 and 6

Answer: A

Switch statements are based on integer expressions and since both bytes and chars can implicitly be widened to an integer, these can also be used. Also shorts can be used. Short and Long are wrapper classes and reference types can not be used as variables.

public class While 
{
    public void loop() 
    {
        int x= 0;
        while ( 1 ) /* Line 6 */
        {
            System.out.print("x plus one is " + (x + 1)); /* Line 8 */
        }
    }
}

Which statement is true?

A.There is a syntax error on line 1.
B.There are syntax errors on lines 1 and 6.
C.There are syntax errors on lines 1, 6, and 8.
D.There is a syntax error on line 6.

Answer: D

Using the integer 1 in the while statement, or any other looping or conditional construct for that matter, will result in a compiler error. This is old C Program syntax, not valid Java.

A, B and C are incorrect because line 1 is valid (Java is case sensitive so While is a valid class name). Line 8 is also valid because an equation may be placed in a String operation as shown.

public void test(int x) 
{ 
    int odd = 1; 
    if(odd) /* Line 4 */
    {
        System.out.println("odd"); 
    } 
    else 
    {
        System.out.println("even"); 
    } 
}

Which statement is true?

A.Compilation fails.
B."odd" will always be output.
C."even" will always be output.
D."odd" will be output for odd values of x, and "even" for even values.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Compilation fails.

Java requires the condition of an if to be a boolean, and odd is an int. There is no implicit conversion from a number to a boolean, so the C idiom of testing an integer for non-zero does not compile - it must be written if (odd != 0). The parameter x is never used at all, which is a hint that the fragment was never going to behave as its option about odd and even values suggests.

public void foo( boolean a, boolean b)
{ 
    if( a ) 
    {
        System.out.println("A"); /* Line 5 */
    } 
    else if(a && b) /* Line 7 */
    { 
        System.out.println( "A && B"); 
    } 
    else /* Line 11 */
    { 
        if ( !b ) 
        {
            System.out.println( "notB") ;
        } 
        else 
        {
            System.out.println( "ELSE" ) ; 
        } 
    } 
}

A.If a is true and b is true then the output is "A && B"
B.If a is true and b is false then the output is "notB"
C.If a is false and b is true then the output is "ELSE"
D.If a is false and b is false then the output is "ELSE"

Answer: C

Option C is correct. The output is "ELSE". Only when a is false do the output lines after 11 get some chance of executing.

Option A is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed. The condition at line 7 will never be evaluated (when a is true it will always be trapped by the line 12 condition) therefore the output will never be "A && B".

Option B is wrong. The output is "A". When a is true, irrespective of the value of b, only the line 5 output will be executed.

Option D is wrong. The output is "notB".
